This week, we’re visiting with Dr. Marlon King, Superintendent of the Jackson-Madison County Schools System. The Superintendent is tasked with directing and overseeing our 26 school, 13,000 students and nearly 2,000 employees.
It’s time to spotlight two exciting districtwide activities hundreds of students are participating in this semester! The Elementary Basketball jamboree tipped off this week and more than 1,000 people attended the event. Plus auditions were held for Annie Jr. Nearly 100 students tried out for the spring play!
#SchoolBoardAppreciation Week begins Sunday across the Volunteer State! We'll visit with #JMCSS Board chairman James "Pete" Johnson
With the Teacher of the Year luncheon coming up on May 24th, we're visiting with JCM-ECH’s Dana Helton. Each school recognizes its campus-level Teacher of the Year and three are selected to represent each grade band at the district level. Congratulations to Andrew Jackson’s Deshea Surratt, PreK-4th; East Elementary’s Ann Thompkins, 5th-8th; and JCM-ECH’s Dana Helton 9th-12th.
